Abstract

The RPC (remote procedure call) protocol is one of the popular communication mechanisms. It is very simple and transparent to write distributed programs. The RPC protocol user need not to have information on distributed environments and can easily construct distributed application systems. The RPC protocol reduces the communications overload since it uses messages to communicate. This paper presents a group communications to cooperate with the RPC. After creating a specific group by a user request, they can communicate with each other. A group RPC protocol can improve the reliability, transparency and facility of the classic RPC protocol. The group RPC proposed can be used in various applications such as video conference, replicated distributed database and distributed network management
